  • Try Something Different: Poker Kill Games

    photo

    I want to talk about a poker variety I would like to see more of: the kill game, a Hold'em or Omaha variation that allows for occasional higher stakes hands should the stars align. [...]


  • Loyalty Done Right

    photo

    One of the biggest challenges an online poker room faces is how to retain customers. It is easy enough to attract customers – offering a sweet deposit bonus or nice rakeback deal can work – but other sites can just as easily steal those customers away. [...]


  • She’s a Man, Baby!

    Did you hear the one about the 65-year-old man who thought it would be a good idea to play in a ladies-only poker tournament? It turned out he won almost $21,000, so it was actually a very good idea. As you may have read on this very website, this is not a joke. To recap, Abraham Korotki had b [...]

    For 2010, I order you to honor the following resolution: have fun playing poker. I know, I know, it sounds odd. There is no quantifiable goal here.

    photo

    I was cruising around the internet this week reading a number of poker blogs, as I am apt to do, when I queued up Daniel Negreanu's.
